Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 750 - 751: Unusual Movement

Early in the morning,

After spending a peaceful night in her mother’s arms, little Yuan’er hugged the ’blissfully happy’ tiny Meliora and, with her backpack on, cheerily left the Luminous Royal Academy under Yumo’s watchful eye. The scene was reminiscent of a child heading out for a fall excursion, that is, if one ignored the enormous coffin board Yuan’er was dragging behind her.

Watching her daughter’s departing figure, Yumo, standing by the apartment window, slowly raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

As the crimson power of shadows gathered, a blood-red butterfly suddenly landed on Yumo’s fingertip.

"Go, escort my daughter"

The girl calmly ordered.

Following the command, the bloody butterfly quickly took off from Yumo’s fingertip, flapping its wings and flying towards the direction Yuan’er had left in.

"The Ghost Flame Squad of Kalina seems to have been waiting outside the academy already. Taking care of Yuan’er will also have to trouble them."

Although Yumo was well aware that the Ghost Flame Squad and the Black Rose Family were different, with its members being rough and tough types who couldn’t provide the meticulous care Yuan’er was used to, Yumo ultimately decided to entrust the escort mission to the members of the Ghost Flame Squad.

On one hand, it was to acknowledge Kalina’s influence,

On the other hand, it was to give her own little daughter a bit of a challenge.

Although Yumo doted on her children, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was spoiling Yuan’er too much? Was Yuan’er becoming increasingly willful because of her pampering?

As the saying goes, excessive love from a mother spoils the child.

To prevent her children from being spoiled, Yumo decided to let them face some hardships. Having a group of brutes who couldn’t serve or cook take care of Yuan’er should provide some training for the child, right?

Yumo naively thought.

"Ah, forget it."

However, Yumo quickly shook her head, abandoning the thought. Because after sending Yuan’er away, she clearly had a more important matter to attend to.

After taking a deep breath,

The indulgent and gentle expression on the black-haired girl’s face disappeared without a trace, replaced by an inherent coldness. The bloody butterflies fluttering around her began to turn fierce and agitated, and the temperature plummeted sharply.

Glancing thoughtfully towards two mountains far from the Luminous Royal Academy, Yumo’s crimson eyes narrowed slightly, and a sinister black light briefly flickered through her eyes.

--

At the same time,

Several kilometers away, atop a mountain, members of Red Leaf Royal Family’s Reconnaissance Division were absolutely hidden in the dense foliage, quietly observing the distant Luminous Royal Academy through magically enchanted, specially made telescopes.

As humanity’s arch-enemy, it was impossible for Yumo not to be under surveillance.

These elite scouts had taken on such a mission.

-"Keep an eye on bloody butterfly and everyone around it, report immediately if there’s any movement!"-

This was the task of the reconnaissance division members.

Without a doubt, Monitoring a terrifying demon of the abyss with the power of a demon king carries a high risk.

But at this moment, the elite members of the reconnaissance division were not so nervous. After the initial anxiety, their hearts had become calm. Their experiences over the days had taught them that as long as they stayed out of the danger zone estimated by the church, they wouldn’t encounter any danger.

This danger zone was precisely the coverage area of the bloody butterfly’s sensing ability.

Since bloody butterfly usually exists in a state of power compression, its sensing ability is somewhat diminished, making this danger zone not particularly large. Although they were initially skeptical about this "danger zone," after observing for a long time and seeing that they were not discovered by bloody butterfly, the reconnaissance division members gradually let go of their unease.

Monitoring bloody butterfly from a distance became just another ordinary daily task.

Well…

Perhaps even a visually pleasing daily task? After all, although the bloody butterfly is a demon king... her appearance is stunningly beautiful.

On this day, everyone was maintaining their routine work.

Located in a high-altitude area, the members of the reconnaissance division had an unobstructed view of the area below the Luminous Royal Academy.

Later,

Through the observation with telescopes, the reconnaissance division member responsible for the apartment area quickly noticed a pink-haired little loli bouncing out of the teacher’s apartment area. Seeing this, Spencer, the team leader, couldn’t help but frown:

"That little girl who also seems to be a demon king... Is she going out?"

"She’s probably walking her pet, she does that often."

A colleague, drinking coffee, replied nonchalantly.

However,

Spencer decisively shook his head to this answer:

"It doesn’t look like it, she’s carrying a bag, taking luggage? That girl looks like she’s leaving Luminous!"

"Ah? Really?"

At this moment, the colleague quickly put down the coffee and turned a serious gaze toward their team leader:

"She’s suddenly leaving?"

"I’m not sure, but this is undoubtedly important intelligence, send it to His Highness immediately!"

Spencer said seriously,

Meanwhile, his gaze was focused on the pink-haired girl the entire time. With the coronation ceremony of the Holy Saintess approaching, this little demon king suddenly wants to leave Luminous? Although he didn’t understand her intentions, instinct told Spencer that this was not a good sign.

’We must inform His Highness quickly!’

...

’Hmm?’

Thinking this, Spencer couldn’t help but frown. Because, it seemed his colleague still hadn’t activated the communication device.

’Dawdling over such important intelligence? Are they asking for trouble?!’

Annoyed, Spencer quickly put down the telescope, turned his head, and glared at his colleague with an inquisitive look:

"What are you doing?! Hurry up, quickly... hurry...?!!!!!"

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Spencer was abruptly cut off, as he shockingly discovered that his colleague’s head was gone. Blood gushed from the neck, quickly staining the surrounding grass red, and the headless corpse collapsed in front of Spencer.

But now, Spencer had no time to attend to his already deceased colleague, as his gaze was entirely captured by a black monster that appeared behind his colleague.

What Spencer saw was a demon covered in black fur, with a green face and sharp teeth, resembling a giant wolf.

Feeling the aura of the monster, Spencer immediately got a chill down his spine:

"Abyssal demon?! Why, why is an abyssal demon appearing here?! What, what is it?! How did it get into our barrier?!"

A flood of questions surged in Spencer’s mind,

Sadly, he had no chance to ponder, for upon noticing the nameplate around the monster’s neck, Spencer was rooted to the spot. The nameplate read ’Lolo’ which belonged to his contracted beast?! Meaning, the monster that devoured his colleague’s head was his own loyal contracted beast?

"What, what the fu@ck is going on?"

With a mind full of confusion, Spencer watched as the giant wolf’s gaping maw rapidly enlarged in his view.

The next moment,

His questioning was abruptly silenced, replaced by the sounds of the giant wolf feasting.

Suddenly,

The tranquility within the barrier ceased to exist, with blood and fragments of viscera splattering, staining everything around.

This reconnaissance post of the scouts was left with no survivors.

However,

Spencer did not journey to the afterlife alone. As colleagues should, they stick together. The considerate abyssal demon had already sent all the members of the Red Leaf Empire’s twelve reconnaissance points on the road to the netherworld...

As a few bloody butterflies departed, the empire’s elite scouts, who had surveilled Luminous for a long time, were completely wiped out.

--

On the other hand,

After ensuring that all the troublesome people nearby were dealt with, Yumo slowly turned her head to survey the classroom apartments where she had lived for several months. Compared to the past, the servants of the Black Rose, Mengxi, and Yuan’er were no longer there, making the large apartment suddenly feel incredibly empty, which Yumo found slightly uncomfortable.

’I still prefer lively scenes’

But soon,

Yumo shook her head, dismissing the feelings of desolation in her mind.

’Never mind’

’It’s okay’

"After all, it’s going to get lively again soon..."

After a meaningful smile, the black-haired girl leaped from the window sill and, under the escort of a scarlet glow, flew towards the inner city of Anvika.

Having come to the most bustling city on the continent, wouldn’t it be regretful not to ’play around’ a bit?

Besides,

’Being arranged and scheduled all the time is pretty boring, right?’

’Occasionally’

"One must stir things up a bit, mustn’t they?"
